Its landscape is rich and varied: from fertile plains to green meadows, from dense forests to wild mountains. The height varies from 350 meters to 7000 meters. It has a lot to offer both trekkers and experienced mountaineers. Many of its valleys and passages are still unknown, waiting to be explored and experienced. 65 excursions mentioned in the book cover more than a hundred destinations, but these are just the tip of the iceberg, there are hundreds of other possibilities. Almost all the trekking routes described here are the result of the personal experience of the author who has traveled on these lands in recent years.
